Quality of working life of employees in public healthcare organization in Finland: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimWork dissatisfaction, burnout and workforce shortage are major problems in healthcare globally, all of which are associated with QWL. Previous studies have found that the QWL of healthcare professionals is moderate or low. The aim was to describe the quality of working life (QWL) of employees working in public healthcare and describe the association between QWL and background variables.
designThis study had a quantitative cross-sectional survey design.
methodsData was collected from the employees of a Finnish healthcare organization in autumn 2021 using an online questionnaire (n = 837). Convenience sampling was used in the selection of the healthcare organization. The study was reported according to STROBE guidelines.
resultsThe QWL was moderate, and the mean QWL index calculated from the questionnaire responses was 0.524. The QWL index was lowest in healthcare professionals and highest in upper management, with some dissatisfaction towards leadership noted.
